Tuesday

I had planned to have an ordinary school day today but Kim asked me for help at the studio so I abandoned school. She ran into problems with some tangles and issues near the end of the warp and we worked till about 2 o'clock but things are all straightened out.

Garrett was babysitting for Kim and I Picked him up. We stopped at Winn Dixie and I ran in for cucumbers, kale, and spinach. When we got home the new juicer was here, but when Garrett and I tried to put it together we could not get the first piece to click into place. I didn't want to force it and break it, so we used the old juicer. The older boys got here and quickly got ready for Sloppy Joes and left. I had my fiddle lesson and it was fun. 

After that I went over some algebra with Tommy. I gave him a break and made white bean soup  and salad for supper. Tommy and I were the only ones here to eat it. I finished the algebra lesson and the band got home. I put the leftover soup away and went to bed after collecting all Charlie's electronics. He slept till 2:30 this afternoon when I got back from Kim's. He left with the band and they dropped him off at swimming. He doesn't get home till 11 because Tom leaves Sloppy's to pick him up and then goes back to Sloppy's.

Almost forgot, Joe had a seizure last night at their apartment, just sitting on Kurt's bed. Don't know what triggered it. :0(

Monday

I made myself go walking this morning. I didn't really want to, even though I enjoy being outside. I just had too many things to do. When I got back I woke up Charlie for his fiddle lesson. He and I take lessons on Skype. I did algebra while he had his lesson.

Next,  I had Charlie work on coloring his drawing for his art class. He had to get as much done as he could before art class because the rest of the day was busy. While he had his online art class I practiced fiddle. After art the band dropped him off at swimming on their way to Sloppy Joes.  Deb picked me up, then Mikki, and we went to Sloppy Joes. We had a good time. We haven't been to a show in a while. 

When I got home at 11 I corrected an algebra lesson with Tommy and we went over the next lesson while Charlie finished coloring on his art project and I handed it in.

Sunday

Kathy and Doug got here yesterday for a short visit. This morning we all went to church. When we got home we hung out and Doug went for a bike ride. Kim stopped in for a visit. Later we went to Gieger Key to listen to TJ and eat supper.  Then I finished getting beds ready for Stacey's arrival and did laundry. 

Ed, Kurt, and Clementine are driving down from NY with Grandma Fran. They left this morning. Such a long drive.

Monday

I went walking and then had breakfast. I set the computer up in my room for Charlie's lesson and he worked on his drawing for his art class. It has lots of shading and he doesn't like doing it. So he had his lesson and then I had mine. Neither one of us practiced much. It's been a hard week. After that he had his art class. When that was over Charlie went with the band and was dropped off at swimming. Then Tom picked him up and took him to Sloppys. 

I went over math with Tommy, then did a Spanish lesson, which takes me about two hours. During that Garrett came over and I went over some of his school work with him. Then Tommy and I went to Walgreens and also picked up a pizza. 

When we got home I finished my Spanish lesson and did the dishes. Then went over another math lesson with Tommy. Pretty soon I'll have to start doing lessons too because I won't remember how to do stuff. I don't know if I'll have time for it but he will do better if I go over all the problems he gets wrong. 

G'night.

Friday

This morning I met with Terri again for help with my bookkeeping. On the way there I stopped at WD and asked my favorite cashier about Garrett getting a job there. Things went well with Terri. She is so nice to help me. I feel guilty taking up her time but she reassured me that it's ok. I am so grateful. 

While I was gone Tom was on the phone with Medicaid. More paperwork. Ugh!!! Then I got a letter that I have to fill out about someone getting a credit card in my name. They charged almost $4000. It is all so confusing. All those things, combined with our car struggles and never ending clutter spiraled me into a bad mood/attitude. Then Tommy went to church to work at the movie night and called me because he forgot his key. So I took Charlie over there, dropped him off with the key, and went to Winn Dixie for groceries. 

Poor me, I had to carry all the groceries up the stairs by myself. Then I put it away in three shifts. I did some more bookkeeping and couldn't make myself do much else. The band had gone to Schooner, and I finally had time to get stuff done, and couldn't make myself do anything. I hate it when I feel like this. After I picked up Charlie from the movie I made a frozen pizza and some cookies. Tommy liked that. Then I checked Tommy's science report before he handed it in and proctored his Algebra test. Then we went over problems that he got wrong on his homework. I moved the laundry along and did the dishes about midnight. Went to bed about 1.

(p.s. My plan for tomorrow morning is the beach-time to run away).

Saturday

Charlie and I went to Bahia Honda with Grandpa Bob. At first we couldn't find the pass that Gr. Bob just bought. Then the car wouldn't start so we switched to Kurt's car. The beach was much bigger and all the seaweed was gone. The last storm must have done it. 

Charlie and I were ready to come home at two o'clock but Bob wanted to stay so we left him there and Tom picked him up later, before they left for their gig. Tommy and I stopped at Winn Dixie and I got ingredients to make chili for the cook-off at church. The band went to a gig in Key West and I made chili. Then Bob, Helen, Charlie, and I went to church. Tj, Ang, Kim, Doug, and Tommy played bluegrass during the cook-off and while people ate. There was a great turnout. 

We came home and I did bookkeeping for a long time. I wish I had practiced fiddle.
